Pump-Action Shotgun For Sale

Also referred to as slide-action shotguns, pump-action shotguns are commonly used for hunting and trapshooting applications. In contrast to lever-action and bolt-action shotguns, pump shotguns are ideal where speed is a must, as they don't require the trigger hand to be removed when reloading. Pump-action shotguns also offer a great deal of flexibility in selection of shotshells. Looking for a pump-action shotgun for sale or another type of firearm?

Features Of Pump Shotguns

Inherently more reliable under adverse conditions, such as dirt and sand exposure and climate extremes, than other types of shotguns, pump shotguns are available in 12 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge and .410 bore. Modern shotguns can be customized to your personal preferences, with some equipped with Picatinny accessory rails and bottom and top rails for additional accessories. Look for pump-action shotguns with shock-absorbing recoil pads to provide extra cushioning between the buttstock and your shoulder, and choose shotguns with a molded, nonslip grip for comfort and a firm grasp. If you plan to use the shotgun for hunting, select a design covered with camo to complement your hunting attire and help you blend in. For a timeless appearance, choose a pump-action shotgun with a wood stock and fore-end.
